PSA - Re: Allstate Insurance
Ken Paxton, Texas' AG, is suing Allstate and its subsidiary, Arity, for deceptive trade practices and other law violations. Apparently, AllState/Arity have embedded tracking software in the app downloaded to cell phones which tracks the movement of their insured vehicle. They are compiling a huge database with these movements and use it to raise insurance premiums. They also sell the data to other insurance companies who also use the data to raise premiums or charge new customers higher premiums.
I doubt AllState is the only app that embeds tracking software or other malicious data collecting software in phones, desktops, laptops or other devices. We know many new cars have hidden "black boxes" or other data gathering devices built into them.
